She sews such a perfect stitch with a perfect 1/4" with her original foot! She also, sews a perfectly straight seam because her feed dogs are both the same size - so no pulling the fabric side ways like the machines with two different sized feed dogs! Anyway, to make a long story short, I have been piecing a large pumpkin wall hanging for Thanksgiving in the office! I am only using the Two Spools for my piecing! Gotta love it! My DH says, I am now chasing my machines around the house!

Yes, the 201 is in a treadle which is located in the living room. I love piecing with my Two Spools too just for the reasons that you describe. I decided to keep my husband company while he was watching tv the other night; so, I did the piecing with the 201. I prefer the foot on the Two Spools for piecing over the 201 foot since the fabrics glide under easier without getting messed. The Singer foot has the shorter one side while the Two Spools foot has both prongs the same length (hope that makes sense). I was thinking of moving my Two Spools into the living room, but I still like the look of the 201 in there more.
